Its 4.25t so I have bought them but there seem to be two camps. Those that stick them on and those that don't. There isn't a single van in the Canterbury park and ride right now with them on and some of them will be over 3.5t.

Keep mine in the glove box too, they're not removable though, like my crit'air for my car, the yellow doesn't compliment the all black look

I don't think they would compliment any look!

If you do happen to clip a cyclist (god forbid) pull up and quickly stick them on.

Awwww! I wish you hadn't said that! Now i'm thinking i'd best put them on.

 

[RichardHelen262]

Mine have been in the glove box for years,

 

[barryd]

They cost me ten quid though so you can also see the dilemma that I might not get any use out of them but then being dead cool like I am they wont do my image much good. Im gonna quandary this all day!

 

[alcam]

Never seen a cyclist in my glove box , yet !
Was in Belgium a few days ago . More space on pavements for cyclists than pedestrians . Also most cyclists were quite aggressive

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Use them Barry, people with think you're a big trucker.

I work on the principle that I am a guest in France, therefore I endeavour to follow the rules as best as I can. I put them on for a trip and discard them at the end, so that is 2 sets each year, the cost of a bit of cheese and a few Leffe bottles!

I suspect you will not have any issues unless you transgress the law and have interactions with the police. This year I got pulled over on a motorway en route from Montpellier north after 6 weeks in Spain. As it happens they were customs officers, who wanted to know if we had cigarettes, alcohol, guns! And if we had been to Andorra. That is the sort of scenario when an officious gendarme might decide to look for infractions of the law.

With regard to Canterbury park and ride and others generally not displaying, I remind you of the saying your granny probably used when you were young. “If so and so stuck his head in the fire, would you”?

How aggressive?, you sure they weren't cyclepaths?

 

[colinm]

The answer is simple, stay in England and you don't have to put up with all the nonsense these foreigners come up with

 

[TeamRienza]

If you do decide to use them, bear in mind you are advertising the fact that you are over 3.5 tons and are subject to lower speed limits, largely only relating to motorways were you are subject to lower limits sticker or no sticker.

Put them on one trip, and on return home took nearly a week to remove all the glue residue, and I kid you not.

Replacements are in the glove box. The brick weights in at 4.24t too.

 

[mark61]

It's vital that these things are fitted. How else do you expect cyclist to see you in your stealth vans without these stickers. I actually think they should be twice the size with some hi viz pink on them as well.

And if me granny had wheels she'd be a bike.

I bought reusable ones made of special stuff. You are supposed to just be able to peel them off and restick them.

I never considered that. I do have a heavy right foot. Thanks for reminding me though. Need to check on the speed limits
